Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Gros - Bohemond VII ND (1275-1287) from County of Tripoli is that it features a unique blend of Christian and Islamic influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Bohemond VII, the Count of Tripoli, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crescent moon, which was a common motif in Islamic coinage. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history of the Crusader and Christian states in the Eastern Mediterranean during the 13th century.
